In fact, the planting technology of the Guda Huaxia people is not too backward.

However, Luoyang County is a mountain city, and there are no major rivers passing through it, so the water source that can be used to irrigate the land is very limited, and besides, before the Jin Jue army occupied here, most of the cultivated land in the county was also concentrated in the hands of the local wealthy families and landlords in Luoyang County, so there is no need to expect those tenants or domestic slaves under their command to exert their subjective initiative when farming.

The crops that were originally planted in those five or six hectares were sparse and sparse, and at a glance, they did not look like cultivated land at all, but like self-reserved land that had been affected by disasters.

After Jin Jue looked at it, he found that in these good fields with close water sources, there was neither fertilization nor fallow, and the soil fertility was very poor. Not to mention anything else, the wheat seedlings planted last year and have grown this year can be seen by even Jin Jue, a 'layman' who has never planted crops with his own hands, if he is allowed to do so, the grain harvest in these five or six hectares of land must be very low.

This is the reason why despite the opposition of the vast majority of his subordinates, he forcibly re-ploughed and re-cultivated the land.

Food is one thing, and in the winter, Jin Jue also let the best carpenter and the best blacksmith in the city successfully try out another thing - the divine arm crossbow.

This is a divine weapon used by the Song Dynasty to deal with the Western Xia cavalry.

Just like the horizontal knife of the Tang Dynasty, in history, the divine arm crossbow of the Song Dynasty was lost in the end. Later generations restored the divine arm crossbow through the records in the historical classics, but after all, there is no physical comparison between the real ones made by the later generations, and its shape may not be the real divine arm crossbow used by the Song Dynasty.

The crossbow diagram of the divine arm drawn by Jin Jue is one of the imitations made by later generations, and it is said to be the strongest bow.

The Shu soldiers were good at shooting, and so were the soldiers in Hanzhong.

It was with this in mind that Jin Jue took precautions, and he planned to use this new powerful weapon to suppress the troops defending the city in Hanzhong County during the attack on Hanzhong.

If you want to capture Hanzhong, siege warfare cannot be avoided after all.

Therefore, if Jin Jue could successfully manufacture the Divine Arm Crossbow at this time, the soldiers under Zhang Lu in Hanzhong would no longer have an advantage in this aspect.

Fortunately, the Yellow Turban Army that came from the name of the reincarnation of Mu Tianshi has a large number of owners, and there are many skilled craftsmen, which greatly accelerates the research and development work.

In this winter, with the help of Jin Jue, a traverser, and all the skilled craftsmen in the city, the first generation of divine arm crossbows was finally made.

After the test firing, the range of the original God Arm Crossbow did not satisfy Jin Jue.

The Divine Arm Crossbow, also known as the Divine Arm Bow, was dedicated by Li Hong, a native of the Western Xia, during the Northern Song Dynasty, the bow body was three feet long, the string length was two feet five, and the range was more than 240 steps. However, the range developed by Jin Jue and others is only about 200 steps.

Jin Jue was not satisfied with the range of the original Divine Arm Crossbow, but the others were shocked after seeing such a test result.

The average bow and arrow has a range of fifty or sixty at most. And the best crossbow arrow of the Han Dynasty, the big yellow bow, should actually be called the big yellow crossbow, which is Li Guang's habitual bow and crossbow, and its range is only one hundred and fifty steps.

If this terrifying range weapon had been placed on a battlefield where two armies were facing each other, perhaps it would only take three thousand archers to cast three rounds and the soldiers on the opposite side might collapse.

This is because, compared with the Western Han Dynasty, after Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty ascended the throne, he greatly reduced the rights of the county governors, listened to the capital test, and relaxed the armament of the counties in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Even, Fu Gan had already thought that if the Jin Jue army was all armed with such divine weapons and attacked Yangping Pass, the soldiers guarding the pass might not dare to show their heads.

However, no matter how dissatisfied Jin Jue was, he knew very well that there was not much time left for him, and he could only do his best to make the craftsmen in the city work overtime to produce a batch of first-generation divine arm crossbows.

However, what Jin Jue didn't know was that the army used this new type of crossbow arrow to become a golden arm crossbow. Because, even Jin Jue himself has always refused to admit it, now, all the people in Luoyang County worship Jin Jue as a god.

In such a big snowstorm and cold winter, under such a shortage of food, not a single person in the entire county town of Luoyang County died because of one of the two reasons of cold and hunger. They never encountered it in their memory.

In this regard, the Fifth Patrol and Wei Duan, even if they didn't say it, they sighed to themselves in their hearts.

Regarding the matter of the golden arm crossbow, Jin Jue has been hiding it from Sima Fu and others.

After the arrival of spring, the newly built gold-armed crossbow manufacturing factory in the city was also completely closed, and no one except Jin Jue himself was allowed to enter the factory without his warrant.

Although Sima Fu was young, he was also a smart person, and he also saw that Jin Jue attached great importance to this matter, and he didn't want people from outside forces to participate in this matter, so he didn't investigate in secret.

At the end of March, when the entire county was in a state of hustle, two unexpected people came to the county.

Sima Yi personally brought Li Fu, who had always refused to serve him, to Luoyang County.

As soon as the two met, Jin Jue asked in surprise: "Oh, Brother Zhongda, why don't you stay in Hongnong County, what are you doing here with me?" ”

"Hehehe, one is to visit you and my third brother, and the second is to take Li Fu to see him and recommend him to me, three? I just want to thank you, Brother Juexian! After having the sled, taking advantage of the winter university road closure, Brother Wei has already transferred all the people who can be found in the entire Henan County to Hongnong County, and after returning this time, Brother Wei will start to transfer them all to Hedong County again. Sima Yi explained with a smile.

When Jin Jue heard this, he just nodded and didn't ask anything else. He didn't care what Sima Yilai's plans were at this time, anyway, until now, how he had ever talked about his plan to attack Hanzhong had never been talked about to anyone, so there was no risk of leaking the plan.

As for the matter of the golden arm crossbow, Jin Jue still has to keep it strictly secret.

Seeing that Jin Jue didn't ask any more questions, Sima Yi continued: "By the way, Brother Juexian, according to the spies sent by Brother Wei, Cao Cao is already preparing to attack Xuzhou before the summer harvest this year, and Brother Wei will take the opportunity to make a big vote this time." Do you have any suggestions? ”
